Community

Helambu Project is a community of volunteers who are united around serving the people of Helambu. They have all been affected and touched by their personal experiences and interactions with the people from the region, leading them to begin what is now known as Helambu Project.

Helambu Project began with a Scottish Doctor and an American graduate student that visited Helambu and wanted to give back to the communities whose warmth and affection captures their hearts. Over two years have past and now Helambu Project is a registered non-profit organization in the UK and USA: Helambu Project USA and Helambu Project UK. Together they have raised enough money to build the Pasang Memorial Community Boarding School, which provides education to over 130 students from historically marginalized, Tibetan ethnic groups. Helambu Project also coordinates volunteers, who conduct health camps, teach at the school, work on organic farm and much more.

We are now committed to supporting projects in rural communities that create long-term opportunities for education, healthcare, and economic development. As it continues to support education and healthcare initiatives, Helambu Project is also exploring new projects, working with communities in Helambu, to find new avenues and opportunities to develop inter-community economies.

Helambu Project and the projects it supports would fail without our sponsors and contributors.
